Although I don't go out of my way to dress trendy nowadays, I still follow what's new and in vogue and if I happen to have a piece in my closet which becomes a fad, I'll make an effort to wear it. You?
Two of several styles fashion editors tell us will become big this spring are (1) outfits consisting of 2 pieces exposing a bare midriff or waist; and (2) matchy-matchy outfits. Now I've always been somewhat of a matchy-matchy dresser stopping short of buying shoes and purses cut out of the exact same pattern as my dress. In the 1960s women often bought shoes and handbags that matched 100% in the exact leather and color; or fabric, texture, and pattern as one another ... so everything old becomes new again!

A long time ago, I did occasionally buy a matching shoe and purse combo (and thought I was very smart, lol). Now I try never to be too matchy - and now it is coming back! It all goes round and round. Definitely will not be doing the exposed midriff this time, but hey, I have done it when I was the right age - young!
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, ha! Once I tried on a bathing suit with a cutout waist, and thought hey, not too shabby ... until I turned around and saw what I looked like in the back. Certainly no longer the 20-something year old of once upon a time. :)
DeleteOh Trish, fashion is fun to follow. I'll be looking to see how many women carry matchy-matchy shoes and bags this spring and summer.
